A-R-I-Z-O-N-A

Arizona. The desert. The Grand Canyon State. Part of the 4 corners. A place where it is unlawful to refuse a person a glass of water. There are 11.2 million acres of National Forest in Arizona. Finally, Arizona became a state on February 14, 1912.

Arizona is home to some of most fantastic people I have ever met-

Miss Janet Marie Desmarius Michaela-AKA J-Stubbs



My college roommate and one of my best friends to this day. She is a bright shining star in my life, always positive, always energetic, and most importantly she has always been there for me. I love her. She was born in AZ and currently lives in The BHC with her fiancé.



Jennifer Ellis- AKA- J-Bray



Jenny was in the interpreting program with me in college. She quickly became one of my favorite people and her eternal faith gives me hope. She gives her love to all she can and truly makes the world a better place. She grew up in Tucson and currently lives in PHX with her husband.



Dustin Charles- AKA- D-Nasty



I met Dustin in college after we volunteered to do Ben's Bells via the interpreting program. Literally since the day we became friends, we have been best friends and inseparable. He is the most constant person in my life, who is not a family member, and he loves me unconditionally (no matter how dark and twisty I can get). He was born and raised in Mesa where is also now currently residing.




Shawn, Ara, Sean- AKA- Jackson, SPUD, and Aiken



These three boys are Tucson born and breed…they are the epitome of T-Locs. Shawn and Ara are two of the is the most caring boys I have ever met, they is always there for me...even when things are beyond horribly for them..he cares for me....Shawn sends me flowers and has asked me to marry him on more than one occasion. Ara is the person I will always refer to as my "best, best friend" we have been through a lot, his family is my second family, and again he loves me beyond anything I could ever imagine. Both Shawn and Ara are going to be doctors and I truly believe they will make the world a better place ( they have already done this for my life). Aiken, is Aiken and will always be my one friend I visit when I go home. He has an amazing singing voice and is so talented and is currently teaching at a local high school in Tucson. These are the only friends I really kept from high school, I grew up and away from most people...but I grew with these guys.


HAPPY 99th Birthday Arizona. So happy you were around for me to grow up in and attend college in..you gave me such amazing roots and truly helped me becomes who I am.

LOVES
